Corrections
I admit it — I produced this book in a rush and there are far too many mistakes!Northbourne Hop — page 6
You are supposed to join hands in the lines.
In bar 4 of the A-music, everything but the last note should be moved up a third, so the melody note is F# not D. Click here for a corrected version of the tune.
Old Friends and New — page 7
The B music should start A C C D C and then F in bar 2, rather than A E E F E and then A in bar 2. Click here for a corrected version of the tune.
Star of David — page 10
The dancing right shoulder round someone in A1 and A2 is until you are facing in — don't go all the way round.
True Brittannia — page 21
The D music in 2:2 time is for the last time through the dance.
Good Turns — page 22
It's a standard progression (2-3-1), not a reverse progression.
Midwinter — page 24
Bar 7 of the B-music needs crotchet G and B after the minim G and an octave below it.
The Clocks go Forward Tonight — page 26
What I meant in B1/B2 is that the reel starts 3-2-1, you get back to these positions and then the threes and twos do one more change to finish 2-3-1, which is a standard progression in England.
The Clocks Go Back Tonight — page 27
Add a time signature of 2:2, and the sharp in the key signature of the second line.
Tea Up! — page 32
A1 is like the start of a “strip the willow” from both ends. It should be danced with a step-hop all the way through, not just in B2.
Elegy — page 29
In bar 8 of the B music the last two notes should be A, B, not F, G. See/hear the correct version.
English Breakfast Tea — page 30: In C2, “Men cross left shoulder” should say “Men cast left shoulder round each other”.
Garden City Square — page 40
The second figure needs clarification. When the heads move into line with opposite and face they form a column of four across the hall. All pass opposite right shoulder, and as the men pass left shoulder the ladies step to their right so that they are on the right of their partner, the ones facing the twos, the threes facing the fours.
I've also been asked to clarify that after the left-hand turn ¾ in the third figure B1 the ladies move anti-clockwise and the men move clockwise in the two changes. In B2 it's the other way.
No Clapping! — page 44
The note should say Cary Ravitz, not Gary Ravitz. The sharp in the key signature of the A music shouldn't be there, but as there aren't any F's in the tune it doesn't matter!
Megalomania — page 48
Yes I did mean that G# in bar 5 of the B-music — but I've missed out an F# in bar 7.
